GAFÉIAS Directorate Waste Management

Planet Earth was once regarded as “infinite” or “unlimited” for humankind, not only because of the resources available but also due to the ability of the Earth to digest all the waste that humankind produced. However, from the point of view of the damage done to the ecosystem or the living environment, the Earth as a whole should be considered “limited” and “overdeveloped” at present. Yuan-Tseh Lee, 2009
